I love the stylish and chic multi-function light bulb by Oooms design studio. Use it like a ligh tbulb in any receptacle around your home to impress your friends and family with how hip you are. Once the bulb has burnt out, sit down, relax, and pour yourself a nice glass of port in the new wine glass left over from the old bulb.
